What a spectacular 4th of JULY celebration this 2007! It was a real
CELEBRATION here in Jacksonville, Florida as so many people were out and about. Last week I tried my hand at making a few red, white and blue hula hoops for the celebration in anticipation for the new creation of our CIRCLE OF POWER HOOPS that we are making for our LOOPS. The red, white and blue hoops turned out beautiful and they were fun too. I learned a few tricks of which I searched out on YouTube. The basics of raising the tube over head and back down again… and around the knees and behind the back were actually pretty easy. The new OPRAH magazine had a great tip for me as I headed out on July 4th fireworks and to the Jacksonville Landing to share my new talent…the story line was this; Be AUDACIOUS! What the heck!…people love to see you being you and having fun. Others flock to you when you are being your true authentic self. So I was a hooping maniac and others loved to watch and try. FUN! Let’s hear about your 4th.

Yes, I am celebrating that I have been gone from the internet for over a
week and 1/2 - AND I am still alive and surviving. In fact the brief
separation fromGOOGLE, from email, from business questions and interaction left me with extra time to plan, prioritize and prepare from a wild last 1/2 of the year. More to come on this, yes please stay tuned. Let me just share with you though, that our family has successfully made the long awaited journey to Jacksonville, Florida from St. Augustine, Florida.
All the trucks have gone, the refrigerator is restocked and the second set of
empty boxes is ready to be put out on the curb. It feels good to be settled
again in our new home. Everyone that helped out, Jewell Kutzer, the
Mayberry Momma, Michael Hunt, First Coast Hypnosis, Win Kelly from The Beach Cottages, John Saults, Debbie Walsh from Creative Memories - AND TO EVERYONE who sent well wishes - I am SO grateful. All of these support was so instrumental in providing assistance in our move! We are near the airport in Jacksonville, Florida, in a quiet subdivision and only 8 miles from our daughter’s new school. We couldn’t be more pleased. We are sitting back today, celebrating and appreciating all the time we spent quietly
visualizing our new home, all the while knowing without fear and doubt that
all of our positive thoughts and “thinking stuff” (per the Science of
Getting Rich” ) would create a perfect move!

I am happy to back online and am eagerly waiting to hear from you - please
take a few minutes and tell me what has been going on with you so far this
summer of 2007!

Using the power of compounding – we have established 19 magic steps to reaching our goal of celebrating one million people celebrating women and celebrating change. Step 5 was celebrated on March 1, 2007 – That day we celebrated 64 people at a Carrabba’s restaurant.

Today, May 7, 2007 we celebrated that our membership doubled again. For each step we throw a celebration “party” that allows us to take time out of our busy schedule to focus on all the great strides and changes that we are making in lives and in the world.

Ahhh – Deep breath – Lots of planning for today’s event – but how wonderful to celebrate Step 6 of our goal on the way to one million people celebrating. This goal was represented by 128 awesome women and men (and a few children) who gathered at the beautiful Casa Marina Hotel, Jacksonville, Florida. The setting was Oceanside and the atmosphere was full of energy and enthusiasm for all the members in attendance. YES, members know that when we celebrate life’s journey together – and celebrate the little things in life – every little thing – including the fact that  your child brushed her teeth before bedtime without being told AND that you were finally able to take 5 minutes alone – every day for the past week – is when our world will change to be a more supportive and joyful place to be for all.

With so many fabulous people in attendance – as well as three professional speakers, motivational humorist, Jewell Kutzer, Norma Jean May from the Jacksonville Jam, and professional basketball player and coach, Grayson Marshall, I can only humbly say THANK YOU – for those who are not waiting any more to make a difference – but THANK YOU to those who are using “Celebration Therapy” – a term coined by one of our members, Terri Hattaway, to create a world that is non-judgmental and a world that has safe streets and schools.

GREAT SPONSORS - I would like to thank a few of them - Coastal Cosmetic Center, Go Natural and The Anit-Aging Clinic.

Step 7 will be 256 members – celebrating sometime this summer. Can’t wait!
